Where's your favorite fish?

Whether you're Catholic, the fish options on menus in the area will include more seafood options. Fried fish is common around these parts. Fresh fish is harder to come by this time of year, but you can find some nice dishes.

When it comes to fried fish, I'm a fan of the fried haddock at Heinnie's. It's $9.99 for a large serving, unless you can find it on special as it was Friday for lunch.

Local groups will do Friday night fish fries over the coming weeks. So tell me, where's your favorite fish dish this time of year? I'll publish the responses in an upcoming blog post and column.
